Patriots Predicted to Draft Boston, Eyeing Brown Trade

0:00On March 24th, the New England Patriots parted ways with wide receiver Stefan Diggs this offseason after his 1000 yard season. They added Romeo Dubs to the mix, but many feel the team still needs a top target to build around quarterback Drake May. ESPN analyst Field Yates predicts the Patriots will address that in the draft by picking Denzel Boston in the first round. At 6 foot 4, Boston brings size, reliable hands, and red zone skills that compare well with their current group. Analysts like Lance Zeerlin compare Boston to Pukinakua, highlighting his burst off the line, toughness and contested catches, and potential as a possession receiver. Mel Kuiper ranks him as the fifth best wide out in this year's class. Last season alone, Boston had 62 catches for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns, part of 20 scores over 2 college, years. He dropped his 4209 targets, showing steady production.
